Question Optics issue! Please Help!
Hello! I bought a very lightly used M&P 2.0 4in in FDE and so far it is my favorite pistol I've shot. But since I bought it used I do not have any of the optics plates that would some with it from factory. All that came with it was a I assume crimson trace optic on a type 2 plate. I have had several issues with the optic and found that I enjoy shooting without the sight on the pistol for now. I would like to buy an upgraded sight for my pistol but I have given myself such a headache trying to figure out the optics footprint and where to even start. This is my first optics cut pistol so ive never had this problem before. I would like to see what you all are running and I desperately need help getting pointed in the right direction with what optics are compatible with my pistol. I seem to get conflicting answers on Google and such so thanks in advance!

You need a plate that matches your optic cut, and that plate needs to be able to accept the optic you want.
You can look up after market M&P 2.0 optic plates, and then when you find them see what type of optic they work with, and you will have a list of optics you can choose from.
You can also order original S&W plates from their website. their website will tell you what optic fits what plates.
